RAWALPINDI (Kashmir English): Former Pakistan Test captain Mohammad Rizwan is set to lead Sui Northern Gas Pipelines Limited (SNGPL) against Khan Research Laboratories (KRL) in the President’s Trophy, starting October 19.
The four-day match will be played at Shoaib Akhtar Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi, marking Rizwan’s return to domestic cricket amid reports of an ongoing inquiry involving the wicketkeeper-batter.
Sui Northern Gas Director of Cricket and head coach Mohammad Hafeez has reportedly received formal confirmation from Usama Sheron Niazi, the Pakistan Cricket Board’s director of domestic cricket, regarding Rizwan’s participation.
Rizwan, 34, was among seven players the PCB recalled after Pakistan’s 194-run defeat to England in the second Test at Lord’s in August 2026. He was subsequently called to the National Cricket Academy, where an inquiry is reportedly underway.
Reports also suggest efforts to resolve differences between the PCB and Rizwan. The wicketkeeper-batter is said to be keen to return his focus to cricket and had requested permission from the board to play in domestic competitions.
Rizwan has represented Pakistan in 47 Test matches, 103 One-Day Internationals and 106 T20 Internationals, according to the figures provided.
